VC Iveagh Kit and Sponsor Launch

2019 will see Velo Club IVEAGH enter it’s 6th year, with its foundation as strong as ever. Although currently recognised as one of the smaller clubs within the Cycling Ireland umbrella, membership remains healthy with the smaller numbers allowing a much more personal feel to the club. As part of our continued attention to detail and our club image, 2019 will see the club move to a new and refreshed kit, which stays strongly, within our recognised colour branding, yet adds a dynamic new look, fitting neatly within current sports kit trends.

Whilst excited about our new kit for 2019, we have sadly had to say goodbye to a number of partnerships, which provided the club with some much needed foundational support in our early years. In recognition and in appreciation, we would like to thank, all our outgoing sponsors for their financial support and for trusting in our conduct and professionalism with the association of they’re brand. MAC Tools, Mysportsphoto, CRC and Bann Architectural.

In introducing our new kit, we would like to thank the committee for the many meetings, discussions and concepts that led to a final design. Equally we would like to thank Garth at Powerhouse Sports for some painstaking creativity and patience that helped guide us through the process, leading ultimately to an almost unanimously supported jersey within the club.

With the new club kit, the committee and club members have worked hard to find new partnerships and club sponsors for 2019 on wards. As a result the club has secured 5 jersey sponsors, one of which retained and four new. Two sponsors are now listed on the jersey front, two on the rear and one on the side panels. Introducing:
